That looks very early to me. Are you checking trichomes on the leaves or calyx? I wouldn't even be looking at them yet though. Just my opinion.

That’s all I needed, I’ve been checking leaves it’s easier to see lol

Unfortunately leaves mature more quickly then buds so you will get a false sense of maturity by checking the leaves. I agree it’s too early to even be looking you’ve got weeks to go still.

I don’t believe that for a second. I’ve never seen a plant that was “amber all over” at 7 weeks. You’ve bragged around this forum about chopping your plants early before and gotten called out on it.
Just because you cut it doesn’t mean it was done.

OP go with the consensus, flower will be much more mature with a few more weeks. Let the girl gain weight like a fat housewife .
Calyx ( where pistils shoot from ) swell from maturity , pistils will darken and shrivel . “ Some “ strains throw pistils at end , mostly those upper parts of flower getting the best light , but the GENERAL average overall of doneness is what to look for .
Compare what harvest ready buds look like and you will see some differences. Never rush them. Like growing fruit , wait til it’s the ripest. Disregard ALL BREEDER CLAIMS of harvest ( they all fucking lie ). Don’t count days , just monitor growth.
Triches under a loupe at calyx areas will guide you better than looking at leaf areas. As those areas , mature at different times.
Also , some strains don’t really amber much until plant is chopped . Look at all buds to determine where each stands in case you want to take the most ready first and leave the lowers to finish. Or take her down when all buds are similar in maturity.
It is far too easy to chop early , and very hard to chop too “ late “.
Let her ride. GL

bad pheno, larfy as heck, its ok to harvest early sometimes they can string out more as time goes on.. I'm doing selections based on bud shape and density now, you can get some real wacky bud structure with autos.

Yeah their structure is fucked. I like photos when theres just rock hard golf balls everywhere. Kolas are nice to. But those nice round nuggets are what give me the fizz.
